I want to give a special thanks to all my reviewers. Keep reviewing! R and R!
Oh and Happy Thanksgiving.
Halloween. My most favorite time of year since well my girlfriend, err, ex-girlfriend cheated on me with that dolt of a brother of mine. That is the reason I am in the middle of a town that I do not even know and am starving, have no shelter, and no other clothes except for what I have on. All Because of my brother and EX- girlfriend.
Adam thought because he defeated RHEA of all the titans he was the big stuff. So did all the gods and all of the campers. Of course, that meant they forgot the one person who umm saved them countless times. I am the one who killed Kronos, Hyperion, Atlas, all the other titans, except Rhea (who by the way most peaceful of the titans) and they treat Adam like he is the hero. To make it worse Jason and Thalia were killed battling Zeus' giant. Then Hades had called Nico down to the underworld and I have not seen him since. Then all the gods took and name Adam their favorite son and made him a god because HE KILLED THE MOST PEACEFUL OF THE TITANS! Of course what did everybody do to me, Oh yeah they all forgot me. All because of my stupid brother.
Flashback
Finally, the battle for Olympus is over. Of course mostly because of me killing most of the titans and everything.
I can finally have some alone time with Annabeth and mourn for Thalia and Jason in peace. Finally, I would be able to propose to my love of my life, Annabeth Chase. I was heading to the beach where I and Annabeth were going to meet when Chiron came up to me. He was one of the very few who still remembered me. When he got closer, I could sense he had some bad news.
"Percy." Chiron greeted me.
"Chiron." I said confused.
"Would you please come to the big house with me I have some rather… disturbing news." His tail was flicking back and forth as if he was nervous about something. Wondering what else could go wrong, I nodded. He turned and started to walk towards the big house with me following him rather apprehensive. Luckily, the big house was close so I did not have to wait long.
"Percy, I have some bad news for you." Chiron said.
"What is it," I said, looking at Chiron's face for any clue to what it was.
"Your mom and Paul were killed in a fire this morning." That is when me world stopped. "I'm really sorry Percy." And with that, he left me alone.
* 1 hour later *
After I had gotten over the shock of my parents being dead, I went to find Annabeth. I made sure no one was following me then went to find the little waterfall I had found one time, which later became the place Annabeth and I would meet. I fingered the green velvet case, which held a ring that was a gold band with gray jewels surrounding an emerald. On the inside it said 'wise girl + seaweed brain'. I even asked Athena did she think Annabeth would like it. But her answer is what had me a little confused.
"Of course Ada- oh it is you Percy; I believe she will like it."
Had she just been about to say Adam? I had asked Annabeth about it and she just looked a little nervous and said, "She just got you two mixed up."
But Adam had heard me and started teasing me about saying
"Scared your girlfriend likes me more than you now?" and
"Why do I even have to be your brother, you are a stupid -" he did not ever finish that one because I punched him in the face.
Those were just a few remarks.
I was getting close to where the waterfall was. I could feel, hear, taste, ands smell it. But I also heard something other than the waterfall.
"I don't know how to say this but I am just going to say it" That was my brother, Adam's voice. I peek through the trees and what I saw just about killed me. Adam was on one knee in front of Annabeth. Anna Beth's face was practically beaming.
"Just say it then, Adam." She said in a soft clear voice.
"Annabeth Chase, I promise to love you forever and ever. Will you marry me?' I never expected Annabeth to say yes, but of course the Fates love to prove me wrong.
"YES!" She all but screamed with tears of happiness running down her face. Time to make my appearance. I stepped out if the trees and cleared my throat. Adam and Annabeth whirled around with shock written clear on their faces.
" What are you doing here, Jackson?" Adam yelled at me. I somehow managed to keep calm and not go sit in a corner and cry my eyes out.
" Well you see I was going to meet my girlfriend here for a date, BUT INSTEAD I FIND YOU PROPOSING TO HER!" Annabeth took a step toward me. "YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!" by now I was pretty sure the whole camp could hear me.
"Percy it's not-" Annabeth started but I cut her off.
"What it is not what it looks like. Tell me then when I see my brother onone knee proposing to you, how is that not what I see?"
Annabeth's forehead scrunched up, meaning she was thinking up a plan.
" You know what it is exactly what you saw, JACKSON!" She yelled at me and ran off with Adam following her. I didn't even get to tell her I was going to propose to. I took the velvet case and threw it on the ground then went off to pack my stuff and get out of here.
End of flashback.
I was at the moment stuff candy in my mouth when I noticed 5 black cloaked figures watching me from a distance. My hand instinctively went to my pocket where I kept my lethal pen, riptide. I slowly got up and put my back pack on my shoulders walking away but well aware of the 5 figures still following me. I kept my hand on my pen while steadily gaining speed, the 5 things did too. When I rounded a corner I flat out ran to the nearest alley and hit behind a couple of boxes and a dumpster. I kept my breathing quiet and stayed tensed ready to take off at a moments notice. I heard a group of people stop on the sidewalk in front of the alley." Where in Chaos name could he have gone?" one voice said that sounded like a females.
"I don't know, Nightshade. For all we know he could have mist traveled away." Nightshade as in Zoë Nightshade.
"Castellan, S and B look down the alleys and see if you can find him while Nightshade and I look-." A females voice stopped abruptly. " Hear that?"
" Hear what?" A deep male voice said that reminded me of Benkendorf.
" A heartbeat," I started to panic, They could hear my heart beat. "Its coming from behind that dumpster." Five sets of footsteps slowly came down the alley. Just when they were about to find me I leapt up and found my sword pointed at former friends who had surprised looks on their faces, Luke, Zoë, Silena, Benkendorf, and Vanessa.
